INFORMATION SUBMITTED THE STEAM ENGINE TRACTOR The first engine-powered farm tractors used steam and were introduced in 1868. These engines were built as small road locomotives and were operated by one man. If the engine weighed less than 5 tons; they were used for general road haulage and in particular by the timber trade. The most popular steam tractor was the Garrett 4CD. The fact still remained that the steam rig was so bulky and unmanageable as to be impractical for the average farmer. But it was the forerunner of an attempt by farmers to drive their machinery with something besides horseflesh and manpower. Steam quickly found its niche as belt power for threshers, releasing horses from this job. And on a much lesser scale it was later used to pump water, bale hay, shred and cut silage. But toward the turn of the century it was to run into the competition which doomed its widespread use on the farm.
Elder abuse is the intentional mistreatment or harming of an adult over age 60. This abuse can take many forms – physical, emotional, sexual, and financial exploitation, as well as neglect. In the United States, an estimated 1 in 10 adults over the age of 60 experience some form of abuse each year. That number is likely much higher because elder abuse is often underreported – especially in underserved communities.
